Luncheon with my Darlings at The Shard, London

2/16/2017

I'm still in London at the moment and am so inspired by the love we had at the lunch table that I just HAVE to blog about it.

After the bloggers brunch meet up (which I will blog about later), Elffie had already made reservations for us at Oblix, The Shard. But since Anisah @ Pink Durian was late to brunch due to many misfortunate events and did not get to eat then, I asked her to join us. Because I absolutely missed her and wanted more time with her. So, like literally as we walked out of brunch, I turned to her and asked her to join the lunch. Poor Elffie! He had to make amendments to his reservations. I'm so lucky they had space.

So after dropping my SIL off at the dUCk event, we headed for The Shard. Nad was already there enjoying the view while waiting for us slow-pokes. Traffic okay! Haha.

Damn dramatic right, Nad waiting for us like this. HAHA!

Hazimah was seriously proposing an investment plan to Elffie and he's just laughing at it. LOL!

So here's what I loved about the lunch. Anisah and I know each other via blogging. We're both proteges to the very amazing and beautiful Shea Rasol. Nad and I are friends from college. Anggi and Hazimah are my colleagues. And Elffie, I met at KLFW last August. None of them knew each other until this trip to London. And everyone became instant friends! It was absolutely lovely!

To be honest, because it's a work trip, I haven't the time to sit down and catch up with everyone. So this was a really good time, with great ambiance as well!

Everyone has their foot in the fashion world and we were talking about the industry on so many levels from so many different perspectives, it was so amazing. It was educational and fun at the same time. Basically we just had so much fun that the restaurant had to kick us out after sunset!

I am truly blessed with friends from all walks of life and I'm truly grateful to be able to meet them here in London in such a beautiful setting.
